Call Out My Name // Ben Solo

Rag-Tag Bunch

"Do you guys hear that?..shh"

"Wait...I do too, sounds like someone's, crying"

"..well come on you guys, maybe they're hurt" 

The three friends made their way through the woods getting closer to the sound. That's when they saw, Dorian, with her head in her hands. "She doesn't look hurt?" said one of the friends. "Thankyou captain obvious, Jan- go check on her?", to which she replied "Why me?..uhh fine" The girl pushed past her two friends, who followed behind her. "H-Hi, are you alright?". 

Dorian quickly sucked in a breath and wiped her face, she moved her tray and stood up. "I'm fine-" she was embarrassed and tried to change the subject, "-i'm Dorian". The girl smiled at her "I'm Jannah, this is Finn, and that's Poe" they all said hello to one another. When Poe said "You came here from Chandrila, right?". He felt bad once he saw Dorian swallow hard. She just nodded, and Poe said "Sorry". 

Dorian smirked "it's okay.", Finn stepped forward more "Are you a padawan at the temple?". Dorian sat down on the flat rock groaned "I- I don't know, the General and Master Luke, seem to think so..something like a Seer". 

"What's that?" asked Jannah coming to sit next to her, with Poe and Finn going to sit on the grass in front of them. Dorians forehead creased for a moment before she said "well...I guess I can see the future, or something, I don't really know, today was my first day". Poe replied "Oh cool, can you tell me my future?". She shook her head "I don't think it works like that, or i'm just, not strong enough..and I'm way behind on training, because there are a lot of little kids there" 

Poe crinkled his nose, feeling momentary disappointment, saying "well can you move stuff with your mind?". Dorian shrugged "I don't know I never tried, the only thing I did was do the defensive moves Ben showed me". Finn said out loud without thinking "gahh, he's a jerk". They waited for Dorians reaction, "Yeah, he is" she shook her head in annoyance at his behavior towards her so far. "-well lets see if you can move stuff with *the force*" smiled Poe as he stood up and looked for something that she could try to move. He found a small rock and walked over to a large log and placed it on it. The rest of them began to follow. "I'm telling you I can't move anything". Poe patted her shoulder "Sure you can!, you gotta...uhh clear your mind and focus on everything between the dark and light", Finn, rolled his eyes "You know about 'the force'?"

Poe smiled "Duhh my parents were resistance fighters, they told me all about it". Dorian turned to Poe, "Your parents were with the resistance?". Poe stopped smiling and Jannah winced slightly and then said "Yeah, his dad-well". Poe cut her off "He died, but ive got my mom, and Finn now". Dorian shook her head in confusion at what he meant 'and Finn now'. Which Finn saw and said "I was a child of war, the Empire tried to kidnap me, killing my entire community, I was 5. Then I was sent here, and Poe's mom, my mom, adopted me. Then I met Jannah who lives two houses down." 

Dorian smiled at Finn, and then turned back to the stone on the log, and starred at it for a bit, unsure of how to channel her emotions into making it lift. Closing her eyes she cleared her mind, a blank space, and began to focus with her emotions on everything between the dark and light, whatever that meant. She absentmindedly lifted her hand up straightening her arm out. Poe chimed in "Don't worry we'll still be your friends, even if you cant do it"

That statement caused a warm sensation in her stomach and she tried even more to clear her mind. They all looked at the stone waiting for it to lift, Dorian began to feel something, it was small, almost non existent. She concentrated for a few moments before hearing Finn "It's moving..look" Dorian opened her eyes and saw the stone that was maybe an inch off the log, fall back down and then onto the earth. Dorian shook her head in disbelief "wow, i've never- whoa" the group was all smiling and talking over each other about how cool that was. Dorian stopped talking when she heard a cluster of beeping growing louder and louder. They all heard it and turned their attention to where it was coming from. Suddenly out popped a droid, it was shaped like a ball, and was orange and white. It rolled it's way towards Poe who said "Hey BB, did mom send you?" the little droid beeped, "Wow what a cool droid" said Dorian. "My dad made him, Dorian this is BB-8, BB-8 this is our new friend, Dorian". BB-8 beeped and rolled up to her, "Hi, nice to meet you" she said looking down at the little round droid. 

"We better get going, Poe" said Finn. Dorian sighed out "yeah I gotta get back to the temple anyways, urm.." She was too embarrassed to ask them to hangout again even though Poe called her their friend. Jannah said to them "Yeah I gotta go two before my parents come looking for me..Uh Dorian we're gonna be here tomorrow, if you wanna come meet us?". 

"Really?, Yeah sure. I get done with training at 3, I think." she said grabbing her tray. They all departed and Dorian, had to stop her self from literally skipping back to the temple due to her excitement. She ran back up the trail to the temple, and down through the dormitories, Ben was standing around with his friends and saw Dorian. He thought she would still be upset, but he saw this bright smile on her face as she and her ashy blonde hair bounced down to the dorm hall. 

Ben started walking down the hall like he was going to his room, and sneered at her "Why are you so happy?". Dorian turned around as she placed her thumb on the entrance pad. She grinned at him and simply said "I made friends, Good night" 

Ben grunted in annoyance and if he could've, he wouldve slammed his door shut, to let her know how mad he was.
